Description

Contaminant transport in the aircraft cabin became one of the most vital issues that should be concerned; because there are over 4.6 billionpassengers choose travelling by aircrafts, as they are safe, comfortable, and fast. In addition, aircrafts manufacturers aim to produce large aircrafts thatare able to contain the highest number of passengers. Airborne diseases, for example, SARS and Influenza are considered the most fatal diseases, whichcan transport in the cabin rapidly, due to the large number of particles or droplets in one cough or sneeze as well as the velocity of these particles, as aconsequence these characteristics, airborne pathogens such as cough and sneeze can spread and reach great number of passengers at one time. This studyshows the result of simulation of cough droplets that produced from an infected moving passenger using computational fluid dynamics simulation(CFD) and dynamics mesh and discrete phase models in ANSYS FLUENT program, also it reveals the effects of these produced droplets on theother passengers inside the cabin. The results reveals that, cough droplet that produced during the movement of the passenger are extremelydetrimental, as it could spread to a distance more than 4 meters along the cabin, moreover, it affected too many passengers in the cabin.
